This extensive tome updates and replaces Twentieth-Century Italian Literature in English Translation (CH, Oct'99, 37-0658) and complements Italian Literature before 1900 in English Translation (2011), both also by Healey (emer., Univ. of Toronto Library). Benefiting from technological advances in research over the past few decades, this update includes editions not listed in the original volume, as well as extensive coverage of translations of new and older Italian works published between 1998 and 2016. The 4,835 entries are listed by year of publication, in alphabetical order by the author of the original work, and include notes of varying length (notes may cover author and translator biographies, summaries of and contemporaneous reviews of the works, translation and publication histories, stage and screen adaptations, and details on physical format and illustration). The indexes by author, title, translator, editor, artist/illustrator, publisher, periodical, and series make this volume an indispensable tool for advanced researchers in Italian literature and translation studies. Summing Up: Essential. Graduate students, researchers, faculty. --Jennifer L Newman, Hunter College, City University of New York
